The Evaluation for the Forms Used to Evaluate the Student teachers in the application of the course called “Practical Education”

Abstract

This study aims to identify the practical education supervisors’ evaluation

for the forms used to evaluate the student teachers in the stage of application

of the course called “Practical Education”.In addition to that, it attempts to

identify the roles of gender, academic qualification, specialization, university

experience and the number of supervision times on the course, and the area

variables in the academic supervisors’ evaluation for the evaluative forms

in practical training of the course called “Practical Education”.The study

population consisted of (94) supervisors.The questionnaire used consisted of

(36) items according to Likert Quintet Scale.Its validity was verified and its

reliability coefficient (0.89) was calculated according to the half- partition

method.Its coefficient of internal consistency (0.92) was calculated according

to Chronbach Alpha Equation.Furthermore, a “journal” was used in the

meetings of the focal groups of the academic supervisors.

The findings of the study were as follows: concerning supervision the

evaluation degree of the forms used in evaluating student teachers in practical

training of the course called “Practical Education” was high.The findings

also showed differences in the averages of academic supervisors’ responses on

their evaluations of the evaluative forms that were attributed to the variables

of: gender, academic qualification, scientific rank, specialization, university

experience, number of supervision times on the course, and area.

The researcher supplied several recommendations including the

necessity to formulate the evaluative forms of practical training of the course

called “Practical Education” in accordance with the course objectives and

evaluating the performance of the student teachers from all aspects.
